The growing popularity of wood finishes comes as no surprise to us, simply because wood is so versatile.
Wood finishes can be incorporated into a modern kitchen design to bring warmth and a rustic touch, or used in classic kitchens to enhance a country-style look. What’s more, the ways in which you can incorporate wood into your kitchen’s design is endless. Go bold with wood effect doors, or infuse natural wood tones into open shelving, storage features or handlerails.
4 - Warm colours
